Former Obama administration speechwriter Jon Favreau said Saturday that Democrats will likely never know whether keeping President Biden on the top of the ticket is the wisest decision, but he warned of the āhuge risk to democracyā that could ensue if Biden decided to step aside.
...
āThe challenge is, we just donāt know ā and will likely never know ā if nominating Biden is riskier than letting Democratic activists and insiders pick a lesser-known and potentially weaker general election candidate at the convention with three months to go,ā Favreau wrote on X.
Favreau noted Democrats āhave some real stars whoāve won races in the toughest states,ā but he added that āitās not at all clear that theyād a) be the choice of the delegates, or b) end up stronger than Biden against Trump,ā pointing to some limited polling that shows Biden outperforming other Democratic candidates in a head-to-head match-up against former President Trump.
